This blog was started to document our walk through jaw distraction surgery and how it is helping Faith overcome some of the serious issues she has faced including obstructive sleep apnea. After researching jaw distraction surgery, we could only find one other T-18 child to have this procedure done. We hope our story will help other families dealing with Trisomy 18 and we look forward to the day God completes the work He has begun in Faith.

Busy time

It has been very busy especially since we have been able to work around the house and go to events with Faith doing so much better. Let's see...We have been working on our front yard and making incredible progress, but also having some fun. On June 21st, we saw the Emancipation Proclamation in person after Jesi waited 6 hours in line with 7 children (they did get to run around the Henry Ford Museum while she actually waited in line wit Faith). Jesi and I got to see Ann Coulter speak last Thursday 6-7p (free event) then we hurried home to take all the kids to a magic show by 7:30pm (tickets from Rainbow Connection). We went to a Steven Curtis Chapman concert with the kids on Sunday night (tickets from my job). Then Jesi took the kids to a picnic for the Rainbow Connection on Tuesday morning/afternoon (free event put on by Sterling Heights fire fighters). Crazy schedule, but lots of fun for all.

When I get some time this weekend, I will try to get the before and after photos up for Faith.
